Your archive
belongs on more
than one rack.

Closette is where a piece finds its next owner — for a weekend, or for good. Rent it, sell it, or both. Here's what that looks like for a designer, specifically.

The premise

Rent it. Sell it.
Either way, it keeps working for you.

01 — The opportunity

Design economics, rebalanced

Sample pieces, past-season stock, one-offs that never found a second look — most of it sits. Closette gives that same inventory two ways back to work: rented out, sold outright, or both from the same listing.

One fixed way to sell it Rent it, sell it, or both — your call
Unsold stock, tying up capital Idle pieces, back to work
Audience ends at checkout Every visitor discovers your name
Resale, no visibility for you Still your listing, still your label
Fig. 1 — one silhouette,
many rentals

02 — How it works

List once. Earn on repeat.

The mechanics stay simple — Closette runs the parts that would otherwise cost you a warehouse and a support line.

01

List a piece, rental or sale

Set your price, condition, and availability. Rent it, sell it, or offer both from the same listing.

02

A renter — or buyer — finds it

Discovery, sizing, and booking happen inside Closette. You approve every request before it's confirmed.

03

Delivery and condition, handled

Managed pickup and drop-off, with photo evidence at handoff and return — so condition is never a dispute between you and a stranger.

04

You're paid, either way

A rental pays out and can go straight back out to the next renter. A sale pays out in full, once, the moment it's confirmed. Both land in your Closette wallet.

03 — The designer profile

A profile built for a label, not a closet-clear-out

Designers on Closette don't share a page template with someone offloading last year's wardrobe. Verified designer accounts get a distinct profile — built to read like a label's presence, not a personal listing.

Standard profile

Individual closet

  • Personal rating & review history
  • Items grouped into casual collections
  • Watchers who follow the closet
Explore → Designer Spotlight

Verified designers are surfaced in their own row on the Explore page — a standing feature placement, not a paid boost.

04 — Trust, before anything ships

The parts you'd normally have to police yourself

Identity verified

Government ID and a live selfie are required before anyone's first rental, purchase, or listing — reviewed before they can transact.

Deposits held, not spent

Security deposits sit outside Closette's revenue entirely. They're released to the renter, or to you if damage is confirmed — never treated as fees.

Condition, photographed

Outgoing and return photos are captured at handoff, so a damage claim is backed by evidence, not two conflicting accounts.

Reported, reviewed, acted on

Abusive behavior or misrepresented listings can be flagged directly, blocked instantly, and are reviewed by Closette within 24 hours.

05 — The economics

One commission, nothing hidden underneath

Closette takes a flat share of what the garment itself earns — never of delivery, never of the deposit.

15%

Commission on the rental subtotal or sale price — the only thing it's ever calculated from.

0%

Commission on delivery fees or the security deposit. You keep 100% of what the deposit protects.

Next

Put the first piece back to work.

Request a designer profile and list your first rental or sale — verification and delivery are already handled.
